A technical workshop on rice-transplanting and manuring and tending of dry field crops was held for officials in the agricultural sector across the country at the Yakjon Farm in Sukchon County, South Phyongan Province, on May 3.

Though it is an annual event, the recent workshop was distinctive in that it dealt with various problems arising in radically increasing grain production and in pushing ahead with the work for putting agricultural production on a modern, informatized and industrial basis.

At the beginning of the technical workshop, there was a general briefing on the matters of transplanting rice seedlings and manuring and tending dry field crops as required by the Juche farming method, including those of reducing the rooting time to ensure earing and pollination of paddy rice and setting the rice-transplanting period properly to raise the rooting rate.

In particular, it theoretically dealt with the technical problems for thoroughly keeping to the rice-transplanting period. It put emphasis on the problems of minimizing drought damage in the preceding wheat and barley farming, taking technical measures to maximize a thousand-grain weight and the ripening rate and making foresighted preparations for harvesting, drying and procurement and of ensuring the total number of plants by species and fields in corn farming without fail.

There was a show of high-efficiency grain dryers and small-size soil management machines and a visit to a catfish fry pool and a mud snail farm.

The briefing held in the fields on the method of making fields for fish breeding in paddies, the no-tillage cultivation method, the method of manuring fields where nutritive cold-bed seedlings are transplanted and the method of evaluating the growth condition of crops and yield by using drones and a show of spraying fertilizer by drones left deep impressions on the visitors.

Looking at healthy rice seedlings in the greenhouses for cultivating nutritive cold-bed seedlings, the visitors came to know better that the active introduction of advanced farming methods means increased production.
